Thanks for hunting this! We spent many months digging into how we can help build "impact" businesses through our pre-seed accelerator program, and the first thing we discovered was a general confusion over what "impact" means for startups. So we set out to create a simple definition for what constitutes an "impact business": 1. The mission aligns with one or more UN Sustainable Development Goals (https://sdgs.un.org/goals) 2. The offering directly influences a measurement of impact, an Impact Key Performance Indicator (iKPI). 3. The iKPIs are publicly displayed and updated on a weekly, monthly or quarterly basis We also set out to create a number of iKPIs that are measurable and actionable, which you can see listed at http://fndri.com/declaration (an Open Google Doc where we are encouraging people to leave comments). Open to any feedback you all have and thanks for stopping by! - Jonathan Greechan Co-Founder, Founder Institute

This is an important initiative. We live at the intersection of COVID-19, racism, economic recession, and environmental collapse. Now is the time to make an impact.
